Photoshop Elements 2019, 17.0.

How can I wrap text around an image or object in Photoshop Elements? I'm going for a magazine-type look where the text wraps around the image, leaving some white space as well. I have searched for tutorials and haven't found anything helpful.

I need your help, please.

Thanks,

K

Kind of a wonky way compared to a proper layout application, but anyway here it is:

First use a selection tool to make a selection consisting of where you want the text.

Second select the Text On Selection Tool and click anywhere inside the selection and then click the Green checkmark.

Third select the Horizontal Type Tool and in the History Panel you’ll see an entry that says Delete Path. Undo that and you should see the path again. Now click inside the path and start typing.

Something like this is the result

The files below can be downloaded if the screenshots are too small to see.

Thanks for this. I will give it a try!

According to Adobe, text wrapping around an image is not a feature of PS Elements. I would have to upgrade to Photoshop CS 6 Perpetual license. So for square or rectangular pics, I will have to continue to cut and paste text boxes around object. For rounding around a cutout image, I will try the steps you outlined.
